LOVENOX (PRESERVATIVE FREE)  (ENOXAPARIN SODIUM):  Enoxaparin is used to prevent and treat harmful blood clots. This helps to reduce the risk of a stroke or heart attack. This medication helps keep your blood flowing smoothly by lowering the activity of clotting proteins in the blood. Enoxaparin is an anticoagulant, also known as a "blood thinner." It is a type of heparin. Conditions which increase your risk of developing blood clots include certain types of surgeries (such as knee/hip replacement, abdominal), long periods of being immobile, certain types of heart attack, and a specific type of chest pain called unstable angina. For some medical conditions, enoxaparin may be used in combination with other "blood thinners."   FDA Approval Date: 2000-06-02 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  My mom was taking it aft knee repla My mother had Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia AND Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis after 10 doses of Lovenox! She almost died. Only 10 reported cases of this in American Medical Journals-only one to a replacement patient-hip-69 years old and she died! My mother is the only living knee replacement patient to have survived it! She has been on Arixtra for 4 months. Even though it is rare-people are allergic to Lovenox/Heparin and if they are it most often is fatal! Watch for headaches, nausea, vomiting after you start taking it!!! 10 days

 2  Dvt,Ovt and pregnancy Extreme hematomas, pain, and tenderness at the injection site. Have had to receive stitches for severe bleeding at injection site. Mild nausea and vomiting. I was on arixtra for almost 2 years with no problems, due to not becoming therapeutic on warfarin 6 months prior. Arixtra was perfect for me and the reason I had to switch to lovenox was due to my pregnancy. I have had 3dvts in my legs, and 1 massive dvt on my ovary, all of which while taking warfarin. I would recommend arixtra to anyone currently on lovenox because of less side effects. As I became further along in my pregnancy, pinching skin was harder than ever, and I was allowed other injection sites besides my stomach, but with the same results, horrible hematomas that required stitches. Very disapointed with this drug, mainly because I've seen how blood thinners don't have to interfere with your daily life. For everyone who reads this and is dissatisfied with lovenox, but doesnt know of anything better, ask your doctor about arixtra! F 28 9 months

 4  PE in right lung Stinging at time of injection and up to 5 minutes afterwards. brusing, some small bleeding at injection site afterwards. I could not take Warfarin because of the bad headaches, dizzy/foggyness as well as chest pains, muscle aches. Switched to Lovenox 14 days ago and while it's not fun to inject shots 2 times a day, I don't have the same symptoms I had on the Warfarin. I still get the slight headaches once in awhile and a little foggyness at times from the shots. I also feel bloated from the shots. Drink a lot of water and the headaches and bloated feeling goes away. I hope to only be on these shots 3 more months. F 47 14 days

 4  DVT, factor five warfarin resistant stinging during and after administering shot. Some bruising, one bad hematoma. Very helpful advice on this site on how to administer shot and avoid some of the pain. Thanks! I am warfarin resistant so this is my only option. No bad side effects. Don't love the shots but can easily deal with them. I'll be on lovenox for 3 months then not sure. F 63 30 days

 4  Pulmonary Embolism Stinging sensation during injection and a full minute afterwards. Bruising. I'm not a fan of injecting myself twice a day but it has made a world of difference in my life. I was on Coumadin for 2 1/2 months and could not function I was so fatigued and foggy. I FINALLY feel like myself again, first time in almost 3 months. F 37 14 days

 4  DVT and bilateral PE Slight bruising at injection site I had an allergic reaction to coumadin and taking Lovenox is my only option for right now until other drugs are approved for use in DVT cases. It does not give me any side effects, I just wish it were covered a little more by my insurance. F 19 9 months

 1  pregnancy My wife was put on lovenox during her pregnancy, because she had a blood clot in her leg 20 years earlier. When she was 7.5 months pregnant, she died of a brain aneurysm. The doctors are pretty coy about what role the blood thinner played, but I cannot help but think that she would not have internally bled to death without the blood thinners. Even with the lovenox, my wife had a miscarriage a year before the pregnancy where lovenox participated in her bleeding to death. F 38 7.5 months

After 3 weeks off Coumadin my hair has stopped falling out and texture is almost back to normal. I will put up with injections forever in order to keep my hair! F 56 2 months

 5  blood clotting disorder - pregnancy pain during injection, bruising, occasional knots under injection site i have not had any additional side effects whatsoever and don't think i was even aware that there were any likely "extra" side effects besides the injection issues. i took this my entire first pregnancy without complication as well, and was so very grateful for it since it allowed me a successful pregnancy unlike earlier miscarriages.

 4  Leiden Factor V/Pregnancy Burning during & after injection. Some bruising depending on where administered. Sensitive skin for about an hour after injection. Some tummy issues, not sure if it is the Lovenox or pregnancy. So far this isn't the worst thing I have ever been prescribed, but I am not a fan of injecting myself semi-long term. I am pregnant and found out about half way in I am heterozygous FVL, no previous clots, but family history. So I was put on purely as a precaution. F 34 7 days
30 MG 2X day
